Just Relax: Now Is The Time

Often, we put off doing fun, enjoyable, and meaningful goalsโ€”like travel. We reach the age of 60 and ask, โ€œDo we speed up our life or slow down?โ€

A couple of years ago (August/September 2014)ย AARP The Magazineย had an interview with Jeff Bridges. We had to laugh when we read a quote from Bridges near the end of the article.

โ€œIโ€™ve got two conversations going on in my head,โ€ [Jeff Bridges] explains, a bemused smile deepening the creases around his eyes. โ€œOne says, โ€˜Hey, youโ€™ve got a lot of stuff you want to do, man. Nowโ€™s the time, because youโ€™re gonna kick the bucket pretty soon.โ€™ The other says, โ€˜Oh, Jeff, you want to make the rest of your life a giant homework assignment? Just relax, man. Just relax.โ€™โ€

Can you relate?

We can.
